Pope Bergoglio was the first pope in history to have placed a wreath of white and yellow flowers (the colors of the flag of the Vatican) on the place of burial of Theodor Herzl, the founder of political Zionism, at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, Occupied Palestine.

Following Jewish tradition, Bergoglio has also placed a stone on the tomb, holding his head bowed in prayer meditation for a few minutes.
